Today was my first day in my teaching experience
and oh how fun it was
I asked my little monsters to experiment with charcoal all over a empty paper
after a series of lines and shades and awkward shapes of lost navigation,
I asked them to try to sketch an imaginary landscape of hills and trees
and here is what I got
The understanding that ever hand stroke of charcoal shows slitty differently than the one before was a bit of a challenge. Moreover, the real hard part was making them understand the difference in the tray values and how it should be present to show depth perception
after doing group critiquing for our work
they final understood the difference in the values and the importance to show depth in ones drawing and avoiding flatness
then we took time to sketch single trees portrait
and a great improvement was obviously shown
the values were contrasting and clear
were as the brush stroke were steady and sharp
and after all this hard work why not end the day with a class photo
